Richard Branson and friend have gathered at Necker Island, an island in the British Virgin Islands to discuss global warming. Not surprisingly….
“So, do we really think the world is on fire?” Branson, the British magnate and adventurer, asked several guests, as a manservant scurried off to fetch him another glass of pinot grigio.
What he wanted to know was whether his high-powered visitors, among them Larry Page of Google, Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia and Tony Blair, the former British prime minister, thought global warming threatened the planet.
and of course…
Branson does – and so did most of his guests.
and isn’t it nice that many of his guests “jet pooled”???
Some of them, like Page, carbon-consciously jet-pooled in from Silicon Valley, where the financiers who bankrolled the Web boom of the 1990s have started chasing the new “New New Thing”: green power.
I sure hope they can understand this… (see above)
